Chapter 7: Childhood Dreams
On the roof of the teacher's building, more than a dozen figures surround the exit of the roof. Yu Keyao knelt on the ground on the roof of the building covered with thin ice, leaned over, and even reached under the exit, stretched out her small hand, and grabbed Xu Le's big hand. Xu Le looked up, there was a circle of heads around this small exit, all of them looked anxious, looking at themselves expectantly, suddenly, Xu Le felt a cold on his face, and a cold, it turned out to be a string of crystal tears spilled, which just fell on Xu Le's face.
Yu Keyao saw Xu Le facing dozens of zombies alone in the corridor, bravely blocking and gaining time, his little heart had already become entangled, for fear that Xu Le would have any accidents. Seeing the thrilling scene after Xu Le climbed the ladder just now, although the danger was saved, but a heart almost jumped out of his chest, at this time he had already whimpered and cried into tears, and now he desperately leaned down and pulled Xu Le, but the tears fell on Xu Le's face.
Xu Le looked at the crying girl, his heart was warm, he squeezed out a smile, and said, "You are blocked like this, how can I get out!" ”
The heads of people around the exit dispersed, but Yu Keyao still refused to let go, and Xu Le didn't care, so she let her pull herself, using her hands and feet at the same time, and had already climbed to the top of the building.
Next to him, Chen Kang, who was hunched over, held the javelin tightly with both hands, pointed the tip of the gun forward, and stood behind Qin Yueming with a solemn face, until Xu Le finally climbed up completely, then he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly put down the javelin.
Everyone was watching at the exit just now, and Qin Yueming was also there, and he also clenched his hands into fists, his face full of inexplicable anger. Chen Kang was the first to come up just now, and he had already seen everything in his eyes above, and he was already extremely disgusted with Qin Yueming's greed for life and fear of death. Seeing him around the exit again, his face was full of unkindness, I am afraid that he will not be able to hack Teacher Xu. So from the very beginning, he found that something was wrong, so he took a javelin and quietly stood behind Qin Yueming, as long as the surname Qin had a slight change, he immediately stabbed it with a shot.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind! Fortunately, this Qin Yueming has never dared to make a move, firstly, there is no good opportunity, and secondly, he was suppressed by Xu Le's brave killing. Otherwise, as long as he made the slightest action just now, he would be stabbed to death by Chen Kang from the back. For the silent and stubborn Chen Kang, Mr. Xu's safety is far more important than his own crimes.
A few hours of heavy snow had covered the roof of this building with a white snow blanket, and after Xu Le came up, he sat in the snow with his ass, let Yu Keyao and Claire support him, gasping for breath. At this time, he was finally out of danger, his heart was relieved, Xu Le only felt a roar in his ears, what the person next to him said, he couldn't hear a word clearly, his whole body was sweating like rain, his body hurt everywhere, he itched everywhere, his hands were sore, and he had no strength at all! It's just that the fire axe is still firmly held in his hand, trembling slightly.
This desperate fight, escaping from death, although his body is almost overdrawn, Xu Le feels that his head is becoming clearer and clearer, and many memories of the past have become very clear, scene by scene, replaying in front of him like a movie, and every scene of the fight just now seems to be replayable.
Yes, Xu Le is no stranger to this bloody scene, and at this time, under the clear head, Xu Le immediately got in touch.
Listening to his father, Xu Le has been crying since he was born, as long as he closes his eyes. Xu Le's mother had to stay awake all night, humming nursery rhymes in her arms to comfort him. But Xu Le still cried as soon as he slept, no matter how he treated, it was useless to exorcise ghosts and draw talismans, and his little body was getting weaker and weaker day by day. At that time, many old people said that the child might not be able to live. Finally, after a few hours of crying, Xiao Xu Le couldn't get up in one breath, he couldn't breathe at all, his body was gradually cold, and when his grieving father had given up, Xu Le's mother kept holding Xu Le in her arms, warming Xiao Xu Le's cold body with her own body temperature, and stuffing ** into Xu Le's mouth to squeeze milk and feed. It lasted like this for a whole day and a night, and the little guy actually slowly came back to life.
Because Xu Le has only cried since he was a child, he has never laughed, and after this catastrophe, his parents named him Xu Le, hoping that he would stop crying and live happily!
And Xu Le himself, since he can remember, has been constantly having nightmares, often waking up from dreams and crying, every time, Xu Le's mother gently hugged Xu Le and kept comforting, constantly encouraging, making him strong, and telling him that the dreams are all illusory, and you yourself should be the master of the dream. Until now, Xu Le still remembers the warm embrace and sincere words. But my mother, because she couldn't sleep well every night, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, often got up in the middle of the night, and at that time she fell into the root of cough and asthma, until later.
The nightmare, is also such a monster everywhere, constantly chasing himself, if he catches it, it is crazy tearing and biting, and suddenly a piece of flesh and blood flies, every time he arrives, Xu Le will be awakened and crying, and then older, Xu Le in the dream is running faster and faster, jumping higher and higher, and even gliding for a short time, on the roof, the tips of the trees fly around, and the number of times he is caught by monsters is getting less and less, although those monsters are getting stronger and stronger, more and more powerful, but as he gets older, Xu Le is also getting stronger and stronger, Flying up and down in the dream, he could beat the monster with his hands and feet, and slowly, the nightmare turned into a playground, and Xu Le never cried again.
After going to junior high school, Xu Le left his hometown town and was admitted to the city's middle school. So Xu Le heard Claire talk about her nightmares, and had a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't be sure, after all, he hadn't had such a dream for many years, and his head was clear at this time, and the past was vivid, and he finally completely awakened these deep memories!
Tonight, in the face of this ferocious zombie, Xu Le was able to fight head-on with instinctive bravery, perhaps, the dream of his childhood here had already been engraved into his bone marrow! It's just that Xu Le still doesn't understand why he and Claire have such strange dreams, she was half a year ago, and she should have started since she was born! The difference is that she conquered the nightmare, and Claire, who was crushed by the nightmare!
After resting for about ten minutes, Xu Le gradually regained his strength, and the roar in his ears slowly disappeared. Xu Le, supported by Yu Keyao, stood up with a fire axe. In just a moment, snowflakes have fallen all over Yu Keyao's hair, and even the eyebrows are white, and the eyes are slightly swollen on the little face that is red from the cold. Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Xu Le looked around, Chen Kang was standing behind him like a guard with a javelin in his hand, looking at him eagerly.
Xu Le nodded with satisfaction: This kid is really good, in such a situation, being able to stay in danger and think of bringing a javelin by himself is indeed a rare talent, and he really didn't see the wrong person! Claire crouched to the side, trembling and twitching quietly. More than a dozen male and female students who escaped, either squatting or standing, formed a small circle, and their young faces were full of panic.
"What about Deng Chan?" Xu Le asked in a low voice.
"They're in the house." Chen Kang pointed to the puffed room, and his tone was very angry!
"You're just standing here one by one and getting frozen!" Xu Le was also unhappy.
Yu Keyao shook Xu Le's arm: "Don't blame everyone, we are all worried about you, Teacher Xu!" So it's all here! Xu Le's self-sacrifice and brave fight just now have already been regarded as the backbone of this group of half-grown children, Xu Le is like a big tree, surrounded by him, far safer than the puffed house that can shelter from the wind and rain!
Xu Le was both moved and helpless, looked at his feet, a thin quilt, three boxes of instant noodles, two boxes of bread, and a piece of mineral water were still there, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the exit, the corpses of the zombies that were hacked to death by himself were gone, leaving only large patches of black-brown blood, interspersed with some fine minced meat and black spots, and I don't know if it was bone slag.
"Where's the zombies downstairs?" Xu Le asked suspiciously.
"Those zombies couldn't see it, so they grabbed the corpses of their kind below, fought and walked away." Yu Keyao replied with palpitations: "It's really disgusting!" I just looked at it a few times, and I was almost throwing up. ”
Xu Le looked at Chen Kang again, and the taciturn child also nodded!
It seems that this zombie even eats the same kind, Xu Le's heart sank again, what does this mean! Maybe there will be fewer and fewer zombies in the future, but they may become stronger and stronger!
Through the dim light behind the magnesium lamp, I listened to the screams and wails that kept coming from all around. Xu Le slowly walked to the edge of the top of the building, looked around, under the flying goose feather snow, there was darkness in the distance, devouring all the light like a terrifying monster, the only dim light was also flickering, crumbling, a little closer to the town street, under the light of the dim and swaying street lamps, there was constantly roaring, the sound of smashing came, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
And the whole campus, under the bright lights, at a glance, but at this time there is not a single zombie, only to see the opposite student dormitory building, the corridor, the wall, everywhere is stained with blood, the two zombie corpses on the playground downstairs and the body of the girl who was knocked down are also gone, only a few pools of black blood, there are fluttering snowflakes constantly falling on it, I'm afraid, not waiting for tomorrow, these blood stains will also be covered by heavy snow. Only the sound of a thin gnawing blow with the cold wind, which is even more creepy in this cold night.
